City Of Alpena,
9,2ea

From the above it will be seen that
two steamers in little over two
months carried 1880 persons to va
rious places along the route between
Detroit and St. Ignace. As regards
the number of passengers carried by
the steamers Atlantic and Flora dur
ing the same time we have not the fig
ures, but we know they had all they
could carry, being obliged to spread
cots in the cabins. These two steam
ers must have carried at least 5000
passengers during July and August,
and besides there were the passengers
carried by the steamers Arundel and
Metropolis. We are of the opinion
that at least rs, 900 persons took pas
sage on the various steamers that run
to this port, from July LIST, and all
these were carried without accident or
loss of life to any Of the passengers.
Every year the accommodations
along the shore increase. and we be-
lieve that the travel will also increase.
Next year this city will be better pre-
pared to take care of the tourists, as
the Churchill will be in operation and
pleasure seekers will find first class
accommodations, The shore route
during the summer months, Is very
popular one and is becoming more Of
a favorite with tourists every year,
and especially with those whose homes
are away from the lakes in the south.
erp states.
During the time above specified q
large number of persons were brought
to this CITY by train. but we have not
learned the exact number.
The communications by rail and
steamboat are first class, and, except
during two or three months of the
summer time, are capable Of supply
ing any demand the public may make
upon them. Fares are reasonable, ac-
commodations good, and the various
officials first class.

Oil, Salt and Coal.

ID. o. Darling, of Killmaster, and
Mr.. Dalton, the gentleman who is q
member of the firm of Dalton &
Martin, who are driving the oil well
at Killmaster, were in the village
(Harrisville) last Sunday, and from
them the Review learned the follow
ing facts in regard to tho work OF
boring: Up to last Saturday night
they had driven to depth of up
wards of $40 feet, and were working
at the time through thick strata OF
soapstone as it is called by some, but
shale by others Ever since the
casing had been driven below the vein
of gas they had experienced consider.
able Inconvenience on account of a
powerful flow of water, which, Mr..
Dalton pronounced as fine as any
spring water he had ever seen. This
was impregnated with an occasional
evidence of the existence of oil depos-
its below as stated in the Review last
week, but up to Saturday night they
had not succeeded in striking it in
any great quantities. At depth of
300 feet they passed through vein Of
soft coal about five feet in thickness.
The coal is soft and is pronounced Of
a good quality. Whether n shaft will
be sunk and the coal mined will de.
pend upon subsequent developments
in the work now going forward. The
water assumed n brackish taste M
greater depths were reached, continu-
ing to flow ns ut first from the top Of
the casing in steady volume.
81 think this water IL distilled"
said Mr.. Dalton, "would yield about
an ounce Of salt TO the gallon. One
great advantage" he continued, "they
would have here over other places in
the manufacture of salt would be that
while the brines flows from the we'll
continuously, thus avoiding the ex-
pense of pumping it, at the same time
there is plenty of fuel, so, you see, the
expense of the cost Of manufacturing
salt would thus be reduced to a mini.
num-"
"You may say" said D. o. Darling,
"that it is the intention of the Kill
master & Tawas Mining Co., to drive
another well shortly and tap the gas
vein again, which was necessarily cut
off when we continued driving for oil. ;"
The well will be driven nearer the
mill and at point between the pres
ent one and the mill. Members Of
company have expressed considerable
disappointment at the sudden shutting
off the gas supply. They seem to
think that it would have been much
better to have let the first gas we'll
remain as it was when first discovered,
and to have driven another we'll be-
side it, using meantime the gas from
the first we'll as fuel in driving the
second, thus demonstrating by practic-
al application the fact of the value of
natural gas as a fuel.-Alcona Coun-

Wsth the improvements now going

Weth the improvements now going
on, f. o. Avery will soon have .the
best farm in Montmorency county. II
is situated on sections 6 and 7, in town
80 north, range 3 east, and is under
the management of John Forest. He
has now cleared up about 200 acres,
nearly all free from stumps. A fine
young orchard growing a large frame
barn 40 feet by 80 feet, with stables
underneath, and some good fences al
ready built. The soil along the creek
which runs south the whole length of
the farm, is heavy clay loan and
further back on either side it is a
sandy loan. and all well adapted to
the raising of hay, oats, wheat, corn,
and all kind of roots. This year he
will have about 100 tons of hay, L.
900 bushel of oats, and large amount
of potatoes, carrots and other vegeta-
bles. He now needs good house to
make it the most attractive farm in
the county. Mr.. Avery is one of the
most enterprising men on the Lake
Huron shore, and is doing much to
bring Northern Michigan to the front
as an agricultural country. With his
immense numbering and mill business
and the many improvements he is
making in the city of Alpena, and
Long Lake, and in Montmorency
county, it keeps him busy. We wish
we had more men in this section like
E. o. Avery, and we would surprise
the people of the older portions of the
State with the amount of produce this
section would raise. Tribune.

and up the shore has ended for 1887,
and the consequence has been large
falling off in the number of passengers
who travel by steamer. The persons
who travel now are mostly OH business.
The travel up the lakes this year
has been the largest ever known. For
some two months the various steamers
were unable to accommodate the many
persons who desired to make the
pleasant summer trip from Detroit to
Mackinac, including visit to this
lively and progressive city. Trip af-
ter trip the steamers were crowded ;
every berth was taken; numerous
cots were spread in the cabins until
they looked like hospitals. On some
trips of the steamers Alpena and
Mackinac there were not even seats
enough. On one trip a gentleman
had cot and had laid down for a
sleep. but shortly after had to get up
as he wished to deliver a message to the
clerk. He rolled up his cot and bed
clothes, carried the whole outfit with
him, did his business with the official
returned to the cabin, spread his cot,
and fell asleep. If he had left his
cot, some other man would have taken
it. 1t was very evident more steamers
could have been profitably used along
the shore route during the summer
months.
The following will show the number
of passengers carried by the steamers
City of Alpena and City Of Macki-
mao, during July, August and part Of
September. Each set of numbers
shows how many different persons
were carried on each round trip, be-
tween Detroit and st. Ignace and re-
turn:

The Knights of st. John and St
Jean de Baptiste did not 60 to Au
Sable last Sunday. The reason given
is that the laws of their church do not
allow them to give Sunday excursions
where n money profit is to be made.
The intention of the societies named
was, we believe, not to give an excur-
sion to make money, but the public
were to be invited to purchase tickets,
for the reason that if many tickets
could be sold, it would tighten the
cost of the societies.
